A million people working near home one day per week.We could all commute less - leaving time for things that really matter. We could have communities we live in not just sleep in. We could massively reduce the carbon we use (52% of all O2s Carbon is people getting to their normal place of work each day). And companies could spend less on desks, leaving more money for people.Be a key part of something specialWe need a small core of exceptional people, working closely with a network partners to have a huge impact.
